I can DM the link, although I warn you, it's based on 1 main episode of my life, so a little sad/depressing. But central to who I am as a writer.

I try to stick to something similar to what you have in your philosophy. The closest I come to breaking it is with spammers, but I would rather not respond at all, and just move on, than leave any negativity on my post. There's little point in any arguments taking over from the value of the post. If others handle it differently then that's between them. I think the comments of value are far better to focus on, and give attention to. So I try to stick to that, although i get annoyed by them sometimes.

I love a writer who can kill two cliches with the one stone! Almost as much as a writer who can mix and mash his metaphors.
